"Butler Pei..."
Song Huan guessed, "Did the Marquis say something to you?"
Butler Pei couldn't help but lower his eyes and hesitated, "My Lord...My Lord wants you, Madam, to have a good rest today."
Song Huan: "Anything else?"
Butler Pei: "...Tomorrow morning, Pei Chen and I will escort you back to the capital."
Song Huan raised her eyebrows. As expected, Pei Yan still didn't want her to go to Ning County with him.
But what is the reason?
Perhaps only by knowing the reason could she find a way to make Pei Yan agree to go to Ning County with her.
It seems that the only option now is to adopt a policy of delay.
In short, it is impossible to return to Beijing, not in this lifetime!
"Husband... Madam?" When Butler Pei saw that Song Huan didn't answer, his old face was full of embarrassment.
He was happy to see his wife come to Ning County to accompany the Marquis, so he did not try to dissuade her.
Furthermore, the Marquis had indeed never issued an order not to allow Madam to go to Ning County...
When the Marquis insisted on marrying the lady, he thought that the Marquis had some feelings for the lady, but who knew... he was wrong.
Butler Pei sighed, "Madam, no one dares to disobey the Marquis's wishes. Please don't be angry with him for this. I think... the Marquis is probably too worried about your safety, so he asked you to return to the capital."
Song Huan: "..." Do you believe this?
She could only purse her lips and smile, "Since that's what the Marquis wants, I'll have to trouble you and Guard Pei tomorrow. The journey back will inevitably be tiring, so you should go back and rest early."
Seeing that Song Huan agreed to return to the capital, Butler Pei was obviously relieved. He bowed and smiled, saying, "Then I will not bother you any more, Madam."
As soon as Butler Pei left, Song Huan stood up and was about to go out.
Jinle asked with sparkling eyes, "Madam, where are you going? Do you want to go for a walk in town?"
The little girl had a good sleep last night, and as soon as she entered the inn today, she wanted to go out and play.
Song Huan shook his head. "If Jinle wants to go out and play, how about having Jinyue take you out later and then having Peixi bring someone to accompany you?"
Jinle's face fell, and his mouth pursed. "Madam, aren't you going? Last time, when Jinle and my sister were returning to the capital from Ning County, we passed by Fengyuan Town and found that there were many delicious foods here. Jinle wanted to take Madam to eat..."
Song Huan: “……!”
Touched! Crying!
I really want to go eat!
But for the sake of his life... Song Huan gritted his teeth and ruthlessly refused Jin Le, "Let Jin Yue take you out. Hmm... If there's any food you can take out, remember to bring me some when you come back."
Jinle's gloomy face brightened up again after hearing this. She nodded heavily, "Okay, okay, ma'am!"
Jin Yue was worried, so she looked at Song Huan and said, "Madam, let Pei Xi take Jin Le out. I will stay with you."
Song Huan winked at Jin Yue and said, "I'm going to see the Marquis, so just go out with Jin Le."
Jin Yue's cheeks couldn't help but blush: "...Yes, ma'am."
. ……
The entire post house was occupied by Pei Yan's men. As soon as Song Huan left the room, the servants and guards who were originally walking back and forth in the corridor immediately returned to their rooms and closed the doors.
Song Huan: "..." The people around Pei Yan are really very perceptive...
But if he was so thoughtful, why did he place her bedroom on the westernmost side?
Pei Yan's bedroom is clearly on the easternmost side, and there are several unoccupied rooms on both sides of his bedroom!
As she walked, although there was no one on the road, Song Huan still felt like a gorilla in a zoo.
She knocked on Pei Yan's door, "My Lord, are you there?"
A cold voice came from inside, "Not here."
"..." Song Huan pushed the door open and saw Pei Yan writing something at the desk.
Pei Yan looked up at her calmly, "I said I wasn't here, did you just ignore me?"
Song Huan couldn't help but complain in his heart, this guy is really the representative of those who say one thing and do another but act uprightly.
But when she spoke to Pei Yan, her voice was still sweet and soft, "...My Lord, if you didn't want me to come in, you probably wouldn't have replied to me just now. Now that you've spoken, how can I ignore you and not come in?"
Song Huan walked towards Pei Yan as he spoke. The bedroom window was open, and when the wind blew, a faint fragrance lingered around Pei Yan's nose.
Pei Yan's eyes gradually became dark. He stood up, walked to the window and closed it. "Tell me, what brings you to me? If you want me to agree to take you to Ning County, you can leave now."
Song Huan approached him and said, "Of course it's not because of this. Since the Marquis doesn't want me to go to Ning County with him, then I will listen to the Marquis and not go."
Pei Yan was surprised and turned to look at her: "Really? That's great, then you can set off for Beijing early tomorrow morning."
Song Huan tilted his eyes and shook his head slightly. "If you don't let me go to Ning County, then I won't go. I guess I'm listening to you. How about letting me stay in Fengyuan Town for a few days?"
Pei Yan seemed to be in a good mood today. Upon hearing this, he didn't even give Song Huan a cold look. Instead, he said, "Then I'll give you another chance. Tell me why you want to stay in Fengyuan Town for a few days."
Song Huan: "Because..."
Pei Yan interrupted her, "If it's still the same lie you told last night, then you don't have to tell it anymore."
Song Huan: “…”
Who said it was a lie? It was clearly the truth from the heart!
But, okay.
Since Pei Yan didn't want to listen, she would just tell him other truths.
"I've never left my house since I was a kid. It's been a rare opportunity for me to come to Fengyuan Town. I don't know if I'll have the chance to come again..."
As Song Huan spoke, he saw that Pei Yan's expression did not relax at all, so his voice gradually lowered.
No, she had to think about what reason she could come up with to evoke even a little sympathy from Pei Yan...
"Besides, I heard Fengyuan Town has a lot of delicious food." Song Huan suddenly thought of Xiao Jinle who went out to find food, and his eyes lit up. "Today is New Year's Eve, and there must be few shops open in the town these days. So I want to stay in Fengyuan Town for a few more days, wait for the shops to open, and then go shopping before leaving."
"You also know the food in the Marquis' Mansion..."
Song Huan suddenly stopped talking and stopped talking.
But she believed that Pei Yan would understand.
Sure enough, Pei Yan seemed to have remembered Master Li’s cooking skills, and his face turned pale.
Song Huan secretly glanced at Pei Yan from the corner of her eye and was secretly delighted to see this. She wanted to thank Master Li!
However, Pei Yan seemed to be thinking about something. "It can barely be considered a reason."
Song Huan: "So, Lord Marquis, you agreed?"
Pei Yan shook his head, "Not enough."
Song Huan: “…”
Pei Yan said, "Song Huan, think carefully. What reasons do you have that would make me agree to your request?"
Song Huan: “???”
What this means is... Pei Yan has something to ask of her?
Song Huan's face suddenly flushed, and she stepped back slightly, saying shyly, "My Lord... I will agree to anything you ask."
“…” Pei Yan’s face darkened instantly.
What is this woman thinking about all day long?
